Interior & Ventilation
Clean the cabin thoroughly with a damp rag, for any salt left behind will breed mildew. Clean out the head
and sinks. Any paper items (books, toilet paper, notepads) should be taken off so they don’t mildew and rot.
Leave the dorade vents in place and open so the boat can circulate fresh air. If a winter cover is used, it is
good to leave the hatches cracked open to enhance air circulation. This helps prevent mildew. Also,
remove boat cushions and store indoors.
Exterior
If storing outdoors, a winter cover is recommended. It can be a simple piece of canvas forming a tent over
the entire boat or heat-shrunk plastic. In either case, a tent-like support structure is necessary to prevent
pools of water and to assure proper air circulation.
Ensure the entire deck is covered to prevent uneven discoloration of the gelcoat.
Cradle
It is critical the boat is adequately supported. The keel must rest solidly on the main beam and the vertical
risers merely stabilize the boat. If it appears the boat is supported too much by the vertical risers, correct the
problem as it could structurally damage the hull. When in doubt, call TPI Customer Service at 401-247-1050
for their specific recommendation.
Mast Storage
Store mast on well padded supports and do not place any weight on top. Avoid tape on the mast surface as
it leaves a difficult to remove residue. Wash all surfaces, sheaves, standing rigging with fresh water. If
possible, remove all standing rigging, halyards and mast instruments and store indoors. For painted masts,
it is usually NOT advisable to wrap the mast in plastic, as moisture can become trapped, and lead to
premature paint blistering.
